This episode is a classic because we see How Ash captures another pok&#233;mon that also is a starters like the other two of the other two episodes before this. And Ash never imagine that, he will have all the tree Kanto Starters. This is the first time that Ash cries!

I still don't get why they didn't ban this episode because guns were in it? Kind of strange since they banned that Dratini episode....
Anyways, I am thankful that it wasn't banned because Squirtle is one of favorite Pokemon & I'm so glad Ash caught it. I was very disappointed when it left in Johto :/ But, this episode had some hilarious parts in it. Misty's hair....green, LOL. Goldeen Horn Attacking Ash was epic & I laughed to see him walking into town like an old man. Hahaha. Also, Squirtle's glasses are pure AWESOME. I love that the writers made him so original.

I remember the day I saw this episode for the first time. I was five, and had no idea what Pokemon was. I was at a thrift store with my mom, and watched the last half of the show on the TV they had plugged in. That day was twelve years ago. (:

Granted, I don't like the show nowadays, but I'll always love the first two seasons.

-- "I want a donut!"
-- Squirtle crying with joy after Ash tries to save him, and Squirtle lifts him up and carries him off
-- Ted Lewis's final outing as James. Wow, Eric Stuart really made the role his own after this.
-- "These are ice packs we're gunning... I mean, ice guns we're packing!"
-- Gary's blink-and-you'll-miss cameo
-- Misty's reaction to hearing her hair will be died purple. LOL I know it was dub-changed, but it's still funny.
-- The final scene with Squirtle.

You forgot to mention Team Rocket's public service announcement regarding proper oral hygiene.

The Squirtle squad was really awesome, especially because of the sun glasses. I loved all the mischief they got into. They're kinda like Pokemon gangsters. XD
I always found the part where they become fire fighters or whatever at the end to be funny, don't know why though.

I liked the last bit when Squirtle decided to join Ash. I thought it was really sweet.

I absolutely love this episode to bits. In fact, it's my personal favorite out of all of the episodes from the 1st season overall. The whole episode in general was just awesomely funny, I couldn't help but laugh out loud and watch it over and over again. I especially loved the mischief and pranks that the Squirtle Squad pulled. That really won me over, tbh.
